In last
weekend’s epic football match between Chelsea and Manchester United, Chelsea’s
star player, Fernando Torres, was carried away on a stretcher half way through
the second half. Torres went down hard after a strong nudge in Manchester’s
defensive third from key Manchester defensemen, Rio Ferdinand. Torres laid on
the field for minutes, before the referee blew the whistle to stop play. Fernando
was screaming in agony for what felt like “the longest five minutes in soccer
history.”
Chelsea’s
trainer hurried onto the field to attend to Torres and pronounced a sprained
wrist, ripped fingernail, and symptoms of a major concussion. No date has been
revealed as to when Torres will return to the field, as it will be a long and
difficult road to recovery for Fernando.
